12 T1 - T12

107
Q

How many vertebrae in the lumbar spine?

A

5 L1 - L5

108
Q

What is special about the lumbar vertebrae?

A

Weight-bearing structures

109
Q

What does L5 do?

A

Articulates with the sacrum. Support weight of the body and provide attachment sites for muscles of the trunk and back

110
Q

What is the Sacrum?

A

Fused vertebrae. S1 - S5. It provides stability and strength to the pelvic architecture.

111
Q

What is the Coccyx?

A

It is the tailbone and is 3 - 4 fused vertebrae

112
Q

A

32 - 34

113
Q

What does a slipped disc mean?

A

slang for disc bulge or herniation

114
Q

What are the muscles of the back called?

A

Superficial (Rhomboid minor and major), intermediate (iliocostalis, lomgissimus and spinalis = Erector spinae) and deep layers (stabilizing vertebrae and assist in extension and rotation)

115
Q

What are costal facets?

A

Articulate to form synovial joints. Permit gliding movements between adjacent vertebrae during flexion, extension and lateral bending.

116
Q

What is the intention of the neutral spine/pelvic neutral?

A

To maintain integrity of the curves of the spine and to allow the musculature to provide the best proprioception. Paraspinals/Mutifidus muscles fires in neutral

117
Q

What are landmarks for finding neutral spine/pelvic neutral?

A

12/T-point (Imprint) and 6/Tailbone (heavy hips)

118
Q

How do you find neutral in supine position?

A

There are 2 ways. 1. Hook lying position/Hips Bones and public bone horizonal level (Neutral pelvis) This forms a triangular shape. Imagine a glass of water on lower abs. 2. Thoracic/Lumbar positioning. Hook lying position/ 12 should remain down and pressed into the mat. 6 should be down on the mat with all vertebrae between the two landmarks into a soft natural arch. Imagine a small place for lady bugs

119
Q

How do you find neutral in side lying position?

A

Stack hops, reach long with the top leg, create space under the waistline (Mouse house)

120
Q

How do you find neutral in Prone?

A

Pubic bone and ASIS align anteriorly with the 10th rib. Reach out thru crown of the head to avoid hyperextension, cue reach out of the spine and engaging abs up into spine, pillow under pelvis if needed

121
Q

How do you find neutral in Plank?

A

Public bone and ASIS align (angle to the floor), tailbone slightly tucked under, shoulder blades anchored flat on ribs, pelvis level, abs pulled up into spine. Cure image of rainbow.

122
Q

How to find neutral when seated?

A

Visual a pelvic bowl. Rock pelvis when sits bones feel most prominent or boney, shoulders over hips

123
Q

How to find neutral standing, kneeling?

A

Align the upper core as if the thorax, pelvis were columns and need to be stacked. ASIS align with lower rib points, shoulders down, head over shoulders

124
Q

What is the remedial exercise of neutral spine/neutral pelvis?

A

Imprinting spine, Pelvic Clocks

125
Q

What is a posterior tilt?

A

A

Transverse - Deepest layer, acts as a belt around the waist “TA”; Internal Obliques: assist in flexion of the trunk, side bending and rotation of the torso; external obliques: flexes trunk; side bending unilateral and rotation contralateral; Rectus Abdominus: outermost layer, compression of abs and trunk flexion

152
Q

What is a remedial exercise for the Multifidus?

A

Cat/Cow in quadruped position

153
Q

What is the intention of the Kegel?

A

Creates foundation of support for the core; stability of the pelvis and organs

154
Q

What do you monitor when observing Kegels?

A

Don’t let Rectus Abdominus muscles dominate. Maintain pelvic neutral

155
Q

What are remedial Kegel exercises?

A
  1. Pelvic Elevators 2. Standing Kegel
156
